The soft hum of Night City pulsed faintly through the mansion's thick walls, neon lights brushing the polished glass of M's office room. The room was dim, lit only by golden ambient lights set into the ceiling. Outside the windows, the private garden glowed faintly, still damp from the evening mist.
M stood shirtless in front of the tall smart-mirror, his body a canvas of power: lean, defined, massive—a beast wearing a man's skin.
A shimmering golden interface floated beside him, his system interface. The faint synthetic voice of the system echoed in his mind, cold and neutral:
"Available points : 12.39 Attribute Points | 12.39 Skill Points."
"Distribute now?"
M exhaled slowly. "Yeah. Let's begin."
Agility – Maxed
Without hesitation, he dumped the needed amount of points into agility.
Agility: 2.5 → 10.0
A jolt of pure, electric sensation flooded his body. His nerves sizzled. His limbs felt weightless.
The interface flickered. Then updated:
Agility reached Level 10
New Supernatural Skill Unlocked:
HYPERFOCUS
🌀 [HYPERFOCUS] – Supernatural Skill
The world slows, not through tech but through raw, sharpened perception.For 40 seconds, host's senses accelerate so fast, time appears diluted by 30%.
Reactions become lightning. Bullets crawl. Enemies move like they're underwater.
Combat becomes art. Every twitch, every breath, visible.
Duration: 40 seconds
Cooldown: 30 seconds
Unlock Condition: Agility 10 (met)
Upgrade Potential:
Vitality 10 unlocks 60% time dilation
Fortitude 10 enables indefinite focus during combat.
M flexed his fingers.
Time didn't slow, not yet—but he felt the potential humming under his skin. His body moved differently now. His breath synchronized with micro-muscle reactions. His balance was feline. His fingers faster than most eyes could follow.
He smiled slightly.
Strength – Raised
Next, he dumped the rest of the attribute points into strength.
Strength: 2.9 → 7.79
His muscles tensed as if responding in real time. There was no sudden bulk—he was already built like a freight train—but now there was weight in every step. A dormant volcano behind each tendon.
He clenched his fist and the joints popped like gunshots.
Estimated Lifting Capacity: ~5 tons
Strike Force: High enough to cave in reinforced steel
Muscle Density: 420% above average organic human
(Note to use the maximum strength you need fortitude 10 and vitality 10, otherwise your body will break under your own strength)
He could feel the earth give slightly under his bare feet now. Like the world knew to be wary.
Swordsmanship – Mastered
M shifted to the skill tab and dumped 6 points into Swordsmanship.
Swordsmanship: 4.0 → 10.0
Supernatural Skill Unlocked: "Edge of Eternity"
🗡 [EDGE OF ETERNITY] – Supernatural Skill
When the host swings his blade, it is guided by more than muscle—it is guided by will.
The sword becomes a vessel of golden destruction, cutting through any material: steel, energy fields, augmented flesh—nothing is immune.
A golden aura surrounds host's sword during activation,
Can cut through vehicles, walls, armor—even energy shields,
Leaves radiant golden light trails through air and matter.
Usage: 2 slashes per day
Unlock Condition: Swordsmanship 10
Upgrade Potential:
Vitality 10 allows sustained aura mode
Fortitude 10 enables the aura to reflect energy attacks.
M walked to the katana mounted on the wall—his custom-forged masterpiece. As he grasped the handle, a faint gold shimmer flowed down the blade like sunlight reflecting off water.
He swung once.
Fwooom.
The air itself parted. A faint, sharp crack echoed in the room. The golden edge faded, and M exhaled, a bead of sweat already forming on his brow.
"Okay," he whispered. "That... takes a toll."
Blocking – Mastered
The remaining 6.39 points went into Blocking.
Blocking: 3.61 → 10.0
Supernatural Skill Unlocked: "The Mountain"
🛡️ [THE MOUNTAIN] – Supernatural Skill
True defense is not about being untouchable—it's about meeting force with force.
When host defends, the world cannot touch him. His sword becomes an immovable wall—able to parry, deflect, and absorb anything.
🛡️Mode 1: Weapon-Based Blocking
While holding a sword (or melee weapon), host can block and parry:
Bullets
Swords
Energy beams
Explosives (with reduced shock impact)
His reflexes and precision allow real-time counter-defense
Duration: ~3 minutes continuous blocking at current Vitality
Note: Very low stamina cost. Regenerative over time.
🛡️ Mode 2: Force Field Mode
If unarmed, host triggers a body-linked force shield
Instantly blocks any attack for up to 10 seconds
Absorbs heavy fire, energy blasts, melee strikes from all directions,
Activated manually or when blocking is attempted without a weapon.
Stamina Cost: High. Can only use once per short combat stretch.
Cooldown: 90 seconds (manual) / 180 seconds (passive).
🛡️ Passive Feature: Auto-Deploy
Host can set the shield to passive mode:
Always active, but dormant
If host is ambushed—like a sniper shot or a surprise blast the field triggers automatically, absorbing one full attack.
Cooldown: 180 seconds
Visual Cue: Golden flicker at impact, blink-and-you-miss-it
Testing the Powers....
In the mansion's subterranean training room—a luxurious, matte-black chamber beneath the estate—M stood before a row of reinforced dummies made of composite alloys.
He triggered Hyperfocus.
The world slowed.
The sound of the air conditioner became a long-drawn hum. Dust particles moved like comets. His own heartbeat echoed like thunder.
He moved.
Each swing of the katana felt like an eternal dance. His eyes tracked every micron of motion.
When Hyperfocus faded 40 seconds later, six dummies had been reduced to perfectly dissected scrap. Not hacked. Sliced. Clean.
M stepped back, breathing shallow. He pressed two fingers to his forehead. A thin layer of sweat. He grinned.
"Next."
He walked to the shooting turret station, activated the drone-mounted machine gun, and turned to face it.
"Auto-target: Engaged."
"Firing in three… two… one—"
THE MOUNTAIN.
The bullets came like rain. But as the skill activated, M used his sword parrying all in coming bullets. The turret stopped one minute later it reactivated again, this time he discarded his sword, a barrier surrounded M—not visible, not projected. Just presence. His arms rose instinctively, and every bullet was crushed like it just hit a titanium shield.
He didn't move.
Didn't flinch.
Didn't bleed.
The gun stopped.
9 seconds passed.
His knees bent slightly—fatigue hit like a whisper.
He staggered a half-step, wiped his face, and chuckled.
"Okay… yeah. That was amazing".

As he walked upstairs into the main hall, Ava was in the kitchen again, music playing softly. She turned to see him soaked in sweat and slightly shaking from the skill usage.
"…You okay?"
He gave her a grin.
"I sure am."
She raised an eyebrow.
M just kept walking and laughing to him self.
She blinked. "Okay, no. I'm calling a priest."
